If you love a good big-screen explosion, car chase or gun fight, The Killer Elite hits all the targets — and that's just in the trailer.

Consider it added value that the Robert De Niro, Expendables action man Jason Statham and Clive Owen are the men at the centre of the action. It's basically a spy versus spy story traversing various locations around the world, including Australia, London, Paris, Oman, Wales and Mexico.

Retired agent Danny (Statham) reassembles his special-ops unit to rescue his former mentor (De Niro), so they can get the British baddies, led by Spike (Owen).
